Summary:
A good fun trail intermediate riders

Review:
I found this trail to be quite good fun, it needs to be ridden to your limits to get the best out of it. Because of this if you are a rider with better than basic offload skills as I know many of you are I suggest you either get up early and blast around or you leave it alone at weekends when it can get busy. I found the first descent good fun and it flowed quite well. The last long loop starts a bit boring at first but after that it flows well thro the trees it ridden quick. I know some riders like to link the blue trail with parts of the red this can work well .

Summary:
Not a bad trail centre!

Review:
The trail centre is more of a family centre but it's what you make of it. The red trail is fast flowing with a few good descents. There's a small black trail at the end of the red which you can easily do more than once while down there.
The blue challenge trail is easy but really fast flowing.
It's what you make of what you got.
Could do with more jumps and extending the black trail. Could be a lot better lots of potential !

Summary:
good but no jumps

Review:
its a good trail but it would be a lot better if they added some jumps

its probably so they don't disturb the walkers that aren't even supposed to be there

Summary:
Like a bloody Zoo at weekends!

Review:
It just gets worse and worse and the rangers / managers will not manage the place.
I am always confronted with walkers on trails, dogs off leads (expessly forbidden) prams, pushchairs etc. They all want to argue that it is their trail! Why call them bike trails or the Ridge Trail Ride! (Clue in the title)

It is just getting really unpleasant to ride there any more. Could be Ok but just crap now!

I will just have to ride somewhere else. The walkers just want it all! I don't want their footpaths but they want the bike trals.

A real bummer.
